a: Vest braided La Chiffo, size 40, wool and cotton mixed. The buttons are great! The color is not what I prefer in the vest, but ... I want to attempt the transformation in this kind of cape wool more flexible, just to see what it can give. In addition, the pockets are perfectly placed to taped adjust the armholes and the scraps are big enough to allow me to create a hood.

b, c, d: Conclusion of the experience: I'm not really sure (too soft fabric for the hood and jacket base a little too small to allow more shoulder amplitude of the cape). BUT I try again with another thicker jacket size 42/44 and one of these days.
